QA Manager | Poland

Description & Requirements

Who we are looking for

Do you have hands-on experience designing and building scalable test automation frameworks using modern technologies such as Playwright and TypeScript?

Are you passionate about leveraging AI across the software delivery lifecycle and driving innovation in Quality Engineering?

Can you take ownership of quality outcomes, delivery timelines and technical direction while effectively communicating with senior stakeholders, including C-level executives?

Do you enjoy working closely with developers, architects and product teams to embed quality throughout the development lifecycle rather than treating testing as a final phase?

If you're motivated by combining technical leadership, AI-driven innovation, Quality Engineering excellence and delivery ownership within an international Digital Team, we'd love to meet you.
